Are you struggling to understand essay structure?

Are you stumped when it comes to analysing texts?

Are you never able to pick the right quotes?


Don't worry. I can help. 


Writing Perfect ATAR English Essays is a proven online course to help students master the craft of essay writing.


My name is Jed Herne. I graduated with a 99.4 ATAR and a grade of 89% in English Literature.


Despite graduating in the top 1% of my cohort, I wasn't always a successful student. 


In Year 11, I scored 77% in English Literature. While this was a decent mark, I loved the subject and wanted to do better. 


In Year 12, I researched, practiced, and experimented. Thanks to what I learned, I improved my grades by 12%. At the end of the year, I graduated with 89% in English Literature - achieving the top mark at my school.  



Still, I wondered if it was a fluke. Had I just gotten lucky?


Then, in 2016, I tutored a student called John. He was failing ATAR English. In some tests, he was scoring in the mid-30% range. Yikes!


I was nervous: maybe I'd been able to improve my own grades. But could I help him do the same?


After several months of tutoring, he sat his final exams. We both waited anxiously to see what he'd scored. 


What was his final average for the year?


53%


Thanks to my tutoring, John went from scoring as low as 30% (and having an average in the mid-40s) to passing ATAR English with a final average of 53%.


My lessons haven't just helped John. Since founding The ATAR Blueprint in 2017, my online courses have helped 600+ students improve their grades, reduce their stress, and maybe even start enjoying school a little bit more.


School isn't just about achieving high grades. But good marks can help you win scholarships (I won three), get more opportunities in post-school life, and demonstrate that you have what it takes to learn difficult skills.


That's why I've made this course. By following the proven lessons contained inside, you'll master the most difficult task in ATAR English: writing an essay.


If you follow the lessons inside the course (and put in the work) you'll see an immediate improvement to your English essays. Essays are the foundational skill of ATAR English. Once you master them, everything about English gets easier - and your grades will get a big boost.


So if you're:


  • In danger of failing English


  • Wanting to boost your marks by 10-15%.


  • Or you're already a high-performer and you want to take your skills to the next level.


Then this course will help you achieve your goals.

    "Hey mate, just wanted to let you know that I got my English mock exam back today, and I topped the composing section (93%) for the year, and finished with an overall 75% for the exam (which I’m really happy with). Just wanted to thank you because you helped me so much; your videos, your personal help and everything else! Thanks dude!!" - Alex Murray

  • From failing to passing

    “Hi Jed, I’d just like to say thanks for all your help with your tutoring. I got a 58% in the wace exam but it changed to a 54% after scaling, making it my best scaled subject. Thanks a million!” – Josh Bedworth

  • Back on track

    "Comparing before and now, Jed’s tutoring sessions have improved my marks in English a lot, as I was failing and now I’m on an average of 60%, which for me is amazing. It has allowed me to feel more confident going into tests and exams as I know that I have the capabilities to answer the questions." - John Craggs, Corpus Christi College

Why am I including this policy?

Well, I want this course to boost your grades to the point where your investment in this is a no-brainer.

So I’m including a huge guarantee.

Because I want you to know how confident I am in my course:

If by the end of this course you decide that this isn’t a fantastic investment, just email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and I'll give you a 100% refund - no questions asked.

You don’t have to explain.

You don’t need to convince me.

Some people might think this is a crazy guarantee (and if a student requests a refund, I have to pay a small processing fee to make it happen) but my reason is simple:

If this course doesn’t help you write better essays, I don’t want to take your money. 

(And students clearly think my courses are worthwhile, because less than 3% of my customers have asked for refunds).

You can watch every video and get every drop of my knowledge, and if at the end you don’t think I’ve delivered above and beyond, you can still get 100% of your money back.

THAT is how confident I am in the value of this course.

And I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is and make this 100% risk-free for you.
